Instead, it requires slow, gentle steps, with reverence and awe at the beauty in sight and smell. It's a place known to local people throughout the generations. Each one being brought here by their parents or grandparents. You can almost feel the memories here. You can't help but leave feeling changed by the experience.</p> so peaceful.

Open post Michael @MikePgh@pixelfed.social · 5mo ago Replying to @rob@toot.chez.gay My beautiful mother has passed away. My heart is broken. I wrote this yesterday, knowing what was going to happen. A Son’s Promise in Sorrow In quiet grief, my heart must now endure, For she, my guiding light, is here no more; The gentlest soul, so loving, kind, and pure, Who taught me strength and judged my faults never. Though sorrow’s tide would draw me to despair, I’ll stand for her, with all the love we share. I’m so sorry.
